It is very important to keep the oil clean. All pre-
cautions must be taken to keep the oil clean, free
of chips, grit, water, sludge, etc. The oil should be
drained and replaced after one year of service.
Replace the oil sooner if sludge or other contami-
nation is present. The drain valve is located in the
bottom of the reservoir(s). This valve should be
cracked once a month to remove any accumulat-
ed moisture. Check the oil level(s) daily.
New oil stored in drums is usually not as clean
as the filtered oil shipped with the machine. Oil
should be pumped through a 3 micron filter.
After the oil is changed, the Multi-Axis Control
display should be checked periodically to see if a
dirty filter error message appears. Change the fil-
ter element(s) if required.
OIL FILTER
The high pressure filter is located on the
motor/pump mounting plate on top of the main
reservoir(s). See Figure 9-5A and 9-5B. When the
ram is moving, oil flows from the variable volume
pump through the high pressure filter.
When the filter has reached its dirt holding
capacity, an error message will appear on the
Multi-Axis Control display. The message will
remain until the dirty element is replaced. To
replace the filter, place the ram at the bottom of
the stroke and block the ram, turn OFF the main
drive motor(s) and the disconnect switch on the
main electrical enclosure and install a safety
lockout. Remove the top cap on the filter and the
dirty filter element. Install a new element and
replace the top cap.
